Parks & Meadows

Parks and Meadows Report – 2018

At the Recreation and Amenities meeting of the Town Council on 29th May 2018, Councillors considered a report on recurring problems on the Meadows. These are an important Henley asset, and a significant attraction. They need on-going careful management, not some quick fix. HRG Councillors Hinton and Miller and Town Hall staff put in considerable time and effort, and the report had been some months in preparation. Approved actions included:

Concerning Marsh Meadows

Add more bins along tow path in Marsh Meadows and remove the 3 large wooden bins and replace with green bins

Add a skip style bin with lid and bin store between Mill and Marsh Meadows

Place plaques on bins and BBQ tree stumps reminding people to clean up

New signage at the entrance to Marsh from Mill Lane.

A Friends of the Meadows group will be initiated

Added suitable seating to adventure playground

Concerning the public toilets

The public toilets will cleaned by a contractor at the end of the day enabling later opening and to be opened in the morning by parks staff – fresh and clean.
